DROP TABLESPACE

NAME

DROP TABLESPACE - remove a tablespace

SYNOPSIS

DROP TABLESPACE [ IF EXISTS ] tablespacename

DESCRIPTION

DROP TABLESPACE removes a tablespace from the system.

A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser.
The tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be
dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases might still reside
in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are using
the tablespace. Also, if the tablespace is listed in the temp_tablespaces setting of any active session, the
DROP might fail due to temporary files residing in the
tablespace.

PARAMETERS

IF EXISTS

Do not throw an error if the tablespace does not exist. A notice is issued
in this case.
